Welcome to WWW Wednesday! This meme was formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm and revived here on Taking on a World of Words. Just answer the three questions below and leave a link to your post in the comments for others to look at. No blog? No problem! Just leave a comment with your responses. Please, take some time to visit the other participants and see what others are reading. So, let’s get to it!

The Three Ws are:

What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you’ll read next?

Currently reading: I see The Poe Shadow by Matthew Pearl sitting on my bedside table every night. I want to finish it soon. Let’s see if I can.
I’m still in love with A Column of Fire by Ken Follett. The separate plots and characters are coming together now and it’s been so cool to see everything work together toward what I’m assuming will be an amazing ending. I don’t want this to end!
I made great progress with The Girl in the Spider’s Web by David Lagercrantz this week and should finish it up really soon! I’m enjoying this as much as the original trilogy and I hope Lagercrantz keeps it going.
Since I finished Artemis, I was able to start Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. I hope I can sprint through this one as quickly! I’m on a hot reading streak lately.
I working on Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson as my ebook now. This will fulfill yet another time period for my When Are You Reading? Challenge which means I’m in the middle of three books to finish that off! Let’s just hope I can polish them off before the end of the year.

Recently finished: I wrapped up Bel Canto by Ann Patchett during lunch last week. The ending had me a little puddle of emotions that was not ready to jump into four straight interviews. I think the movie will make me cry. This will be a good one. My review went up yesterday so please go check that out!
I spent most of Saturday in bed resting and reading Artemis by Andy Weir. It was a quick read, much like The Martian and I enjoyed it. My review will be up tomorrow. It felt good to get through a book so fast!

I posted my review of The Children’s Home by Charles Lambert on Monday and them promptly went to my book club on the book that evening. Look for the book club reflection coming soon. It was an interesting book to put it lightly. To be honest, I really disliked it!

Reading Next: Another book club read to block me from reading Poe! I’ll be starting Not Me by Michael Lavigne next. I’m not sure how we came to select this one as there’s not much about it on our library site and it looks like it won’t be one I can audiobook. Darn.

Leave a comment with your link and a comment (if you’re so inclined). Take a look at the other participant links in the comments and look at what others are reading.

I’ll be interested to hear about your book club discussion of The Children’s Home since you disliked it so much and whether you got persuaded to dislike it just a little bit less as a result. Not Me is a completely new one to me as well but sounds interesting based on the blurb. Hope your good reading progress continues this week.

Wow you really are on a hot reading streak, so many books. Glad you loved Bel Canto, I think it’ll work really well as a movie too. I’ve been very tempted to reread it. Will be interested to hear your thoughts on Dark Matter too. That book is one that’s been lurking on my kindle forever.

I didn’t know about the When Are You Reading challenge. That looks like fun, especially for someone like me that loves to read the classics. I’ll join in if you do it next year. Glad you are enjoying another Dragon Tattoo book. I too hope the series continues. Since you liked “Artemis”, I will keep it on my list, even though my husband was very meh about it. (To be honest, he is like that about a lot of things). Here is my WWW post: https://greatmorrisonmigration.wordpress.com/2018/10/10/www-wednesdays-october-10-2018/

Fantastic! Can’t wait! I wouldn’t say that I want Artemis to be The Martian, but I do love Mark Watney’s character in The Martian, with his humor during catastrophe. Does Artemis include some great characters?

Yes, it really does. I didn’t feel the main character felt like a true representation of a woman, maybe a little more genderless though she wasn’t portrayed that way. I’m not sure I’m explaining it well haha. Happy reading!

somehow i didn’t manage to get any reading done during my extremely long weekend, even though i was stranded in suburbia (i don’t have a drivers license and there’s not public transportation by my parents’ weekend house). blah.
